In Japan, where the post-war ideal of lifelong loyalty transformed resignation into an act of betrayal, a quiet industry has emerged to carry the unbearable weight of goodbye. Resignation proxy services — charging around €120 and completing exits in roughly 15 minutes — allow workers to leave toxic or abusive workplaces without ever facing their employers directly. The phenomenon is not merely a market innovation; it is a mirror held up to a culture in which the duty to preserve harmony can outlast even the will to survive it.
